Chapter 173 Aunt's Grievance

Jiang Zhi looked at Ai Xiaoxia in surprise: "Are you really willing to lend it to me? It's not a small amount, and I can't pay it back in a short time."

Lu Jingshen smiled and said, "We have money, so there's no rush to pay it back. Let Jingxin continue his studies. Education is very important. Even if he doesn't want to be a teacher in the future, he still has to get a diploma."

Jiang Zhi still didn't recover: "No, you really have so much money? Jing Shen has only been working for a few years, you, you, you can't do anything wrong."

Lu Jingshen smiled. "Don't worry, auntie. We do have money. Xiaoxia and I have done a lot of business. Jingxin knows about it. At that time, he kept it a secret to prevent my grandma from finding out. I didn't expect that when something went wrong, this guy didn't tell anyone about us."

After hearing this, Jiang Zhi felt guilty and tears fell unconsciously: "For so many years, I wasn't close to you. I thought I had my own family by my side and I had someone to rely on. I never thought that when I really needed help, I couldn't rely on them. Instead, I have to ask you young people for help."

To be honest, Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen were not in charge of this matter for the sake of their uncle and aunt, but purely because of their cousin Lu Jingxin.

But now I don’t know what to say, and I don’t know how to persuade Jiang Zhi, because they are really not close.

Ai Xiaoxia scratched her head and said to Jiang Zhi, "Aunt, apart from anything else, you have taught Jingxin very well. He is not like my uncle and grandma at all."

Jiang Zhi felt a lot of grievances in her heart: "Jingxin is really not like his father. This time when something happened, your uncle forced me to go to my mother's house to borrow money, and he hid at home drinking heavily, wanting to die. Your grandmother had a headache all day and lay in bed. But Jingxin was responsible. He directly said that he would not go to school and go out to earn money. You said that something happened in this family, and the man did not take it on, so he asked a woman like me to borrow money and let the child drop out of school. Now I really see them clearly. When the matter is settled, I will divorce him and pay back the borrowed money myself. It can be regarded as my utmost kindness to him."

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhi had too much resentment in her heart, and she really didn't want to fight with Lu Guosheng anymore.

The mother-in-law has been difficult to serve over the years. Although the two of them don't talk much now, it's not because there are no conflicts, but because there are too many conflicts. In the end, Jiang Zhi no longer wanted to pay attention to Wang Jinfeng.

And the husband is even more confused. Apart from anything else, his selfishness and indifference are the most terrifying. He doesn't care about anyone else's problems except his own.

Jiang Zhi had thought that they could just live together, after all, they had a child, so it was okay to make do with it. She lived close to her parents' home, so she could ask them for help when she needed help. She would also go to her parents' home when she had nothing to do, helping with chores or shopping.

As a result, she has been like a joke for so many years. Her husband's family is less responsible than the other when something happens. Her parents' family has refreshed her three views. Her brothers and sisters-in-law all have the same attitude. She is extremely disappointed.

I didn't dare tell my parents about this because they were too old. If I told them, they would get sick and it would be even worse.

Thinking that neither her parents' family nor her husband's family could support her, Jiang Zhi started crying again, and cried even more sadly.

Ai Xiaoxia actually felt quite sympathetic towards Jiang Zhi. After all, her grandmother Wang Jinfeng was not an easy person to deal with, and her uncle was selfish and arrogant. It was really not easy for her to live with the two of them.

She said to Jiang Zhi, "Aunt, things have come to this. Let's solve the current problem first and talk about other things later."

Jiang Zhi sighed: "Who would have thought that you would be the ones to help me in the end? To be honest, I was ashamed to say that when my second brother was sick, I couldn't help at all."

Lu Jingshen didn't blame Jiang Zhi for this. "My own uncle doesn't care, so how can we expect my aunt to? And we also said that our willingness to help today has nothing to do with my uncle and my grandmother, and it has nothing to do with you. It's entirely because of our friendship with Jingxin."

Jiang Zhi laughed when she heard this: "I originally thought that he was the only child in the family and would not even have a brother to help him in the future. I never thought that this brother of his would be more reliable than those of us who were born of the same mother."

Ai Xiaoxia also smiled and said, "Actually, blood ties aren't as important as we think. I think what's more important between people is getting along with each other, and getting along with each other sincerely."

Jiang Zhi nodded: "Indeed, I have lived to such an old age, but I really don't understand life as well as you kids."

At this time, the waiter started to serve the dishes. Lu Jingshen said to Jiang Zhi, "Aunt, let's eat first. Don't worry about the money. Take this thousand yuan back from me later. Xiaoxia and I will send the rest home to you after get off work tomorrow night."

Jiang Zhi said, "This money is a loan from you. Even if your uncle and I can't continue to live together in the future, I will pay it back."

After that, she went to the front desk to borrow a pen and paper from the waiter, wrote an IOU, took it back, and handed it to Lu Jingshen: "Keep this. Even if we get divorced, I can still get half of the house. When the time comes, I will pay you back even if I have to sell the house."

Ai Xiaoxia didn't expect Jiang Zhi to be so strong-willed, and she didn't expect that the relationship between her and Lu Guosheng had become so fragile. But to be honest, if Lu Guosheng and Jiang Zhi divorced, it might be a good thing for Lu Jingxin. If the mother and daughter were willing to work hard, their future would not be bad, which would be better than being dragged down by Lu Guosheng. Of course, she couldn't say this.

Lu Jingshen did not refuse Jiang Zhi's IOU. It was only natural to repay a debt, but he still trusted Jiang Zhi: "Don't worry, auntie. We are not short of money."

Jiang Zhi could only say, "Besides thank you, I don't know what else to say."

Ai Xiaoxia said: "Then don't talk about it, let's eat."

Jiang Zhi also smiled: "I never thought that the three of us could have dinner together, and I never thought that I would meet you here today. Just now, you made me save face in front of my younger brothers and sisters. I, Jiang Zhi, will remember this kindness."

She didn't mention her aunt, because what Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen said had nothing to do with Lu Guosheng.

They had a very pleasant meal. They didn't talk too much about Lu Guosheng, just chatted casually. They didn't even notice when Xiao Wei and Er Hong left, because they were unimportant people and there was really no need to care about them.

After dinner, Lu Jingshen gave Jiang Zhi one thousand yuan, took a taxi, and asked Jiang Zhi to go first. It was not safe to take the bus with the money.

After Jiang Zhi left, Lu Jingshen looked at Ai Xiaoxia and smiled: "This surprise is still warm and you lent it out." Then he handed the IOU written by Jiang Zhi to Ai Xiaoxia: "Keep this."

Ai Xiaoxia put the IOU in her pocket and smiled: "Didn't we agree to help Lu Jingxin? This kid is worth befriending. When we do business in the future, we also need a down-to-earth person. Lu Jingxin's mind is not on studying, so he is suitable for business."

"You're thinking too far ahead. Is this considered cultivating your own power?"

"I guess so. After all, I want to do so much in the future, and I need a lot of people I can rely on."

"I support you in everything you do, but we agreed that you can't get too tired."

"I know. I'm going to be admitted to night university next year, and then I want to start my own company and do design. After I'm settled, I plan to have a baby soon."

"I don't want to have children so early. I haven't had enough of our two-person world yet. Having another child will only affect our sweetness."
